4/17 Albertson's Shopping Trip

I don't always make a trip to Albertson's when they have doublers but it was definitely worth my time this week, we were completely out of yogurt, green chilis, and instant oats. My hubby came along on this trip, we each did 2 transactions at the register. (Our store allows 3 per person per visit but I didn't have that many doublers to use.) Oh and the crackerfuls are missing from the above picture.

Paid $8.65 (This price was high and I knew something was up but we were in a hurry to get home)

Now in transaction 4 I thought I was purchasing 10 participating products to save another $5 instantly making my total $3.65. When I got home I realized my mistake, there were differently priced Idahoan potatoes, some at $0.79 and some at $0.99. The $0.79 were the participating item and we grabbed the $0.99. ones. This is a perfect example of why its so important to pay close attention to item sizes and their prices. 

I'm still happy that I was able to restock a couple pantry items and save quite a bit but I'm kicking myself for not paying closer attention. My savings was 75%, gotta be happy with that!

Total Paid $16.13 (would have been $11.13 if I had grabbed the right items)
